Wow, just when I thought I was saving my Polychromes for a rainy day, HoYoVerse drops a bombshell! 🤯 Two familiar faces are getting major glow-ups in the upcoming Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.6, and honestly, my wallet is already crying. Let's dive into the deets on Silver Soldier Anby and the mysterious new stunner, Pulchra Fellini. I've been combing through the announcements and leaks, and 2026 is shaping up to be an epic year for ZZZ.

First up, the queen herself—Anby! But forget the A-rank Electric Stun support we all know. This is Silver Soldier Anby, and she's coming in hot as an S-rank Electric Attack agent. Talk about a power-up! 👑⚡

The visual upgrade is insane. She's traded her usual outfit for sleek silver armor and is now dual-wielding blades. As Billy would probably say, double the blades, double the trouble (and double the fun for us!). The real tea, though, is her faction. She's listed as 'Unknown Faction' right now—not Cunning Hares, not OBOL Squad. It's giving major Jane Doe mystery vibes. Is HoYo hiding something big for her story arc? I'm so here for it.

But some things never change, and thank goodness for that! Anby's eternal love for burgers remains her core personality trait. Her new voice lines are pure gold. She goes on this whole philosophical rant about burgers being the perfect food—portable, nutritionally balanced, endlessly customizable. She even ponders... could a burger work in a hot pot? 🤔 Anby, never change. I just know Soldier 11 would have opinions about this.

Now, let's talk about the new feline on the block. Pulchra Fellini is joining the Sons of Calydon, and she's bringing the heat... or rather, the stuns! 🔥😼

Based on her fight in the Sons of Calydon storyline and her Shadow in Shiyui Defense, all signs point to her being a ranged Stun character. This is huge! We have ranged attackers like Billy, Zhu Yuan, and Harumasa, but a dedicated ranged stunner? That's a first. Her kit could completely change how we approach team compositions and chain attacks.

Her backstory is dripping with drama. She's on thin ice with both her new faction and her old employer after that fateful encounter with Burnice. Her voice line says it all: 'My loyalty lies with the winner. And the winner? That's always me.' Iconic. Villain-coded? Maybe. Effective? Absolutely.

But wait, there's more! The leaks didn't stop there. HoYo also teased Trigger, an Electric Stun sniper from the OBOL Squad, slated for a later update. She was mentioned by Soldier 11 as providing backup during the mole mission. Her motivation is dark and driven by revenge for the fall of the old capital. Her quote gives me chills: 'I am willing to stake my very life... By letting the will to protect steer my hatred, I gain the crosshairs fixed on the truth.'* 🎯

This creates a fascinating dynamic. We now have:

  • Silver Soldier Anby (Electric Attack) vs. Anton & Harumasa

  • Trigger (Electric Stun) vs. Qingyi

So what will make them stand out? The meta in 2026 is all about nuance. It won't just be about element and role. The devil's in the details:

Key Questions for the New Meta:

  • Unique Buffs/Debuffs? Do they provide new damage amplification or resistance shred?

  • Field Time? Are they quick-swap nukers or sustained field drivers?

  • Stat Priorities? Will they shift the CRIT meta towards something like ATK Speed or Penetration?

  • Team Synergy? Do they enable entirely new team archetypes?

Honestly, 'Harumasover' might have been premature, but 'Qingover' could be a real threat depending on Trigger's kit. The fact that HoYo is releasing characters with overlapping elements and specializations tells me they're confident in making each one feel unique and valuable. It's not power creep; it's option creep, and I love having more toys to play with.

My Final Thoughts & Hype List:

  1. Anby's Glow-Up: From beloved support to main DPS contender. Her unknown faction is the biggest lore mystery right now.

  2. Pulchra's Niche: The first ranged stunner. She could be a game-changer for interrupt strategies.

  3. Trigger's Vengeance: A story-driven character with a killer aesthetic and a sniper rifle. Yes, please.

  4. Burger Philosophy: This remains the most important and enduring lore in all of New Eridu. Period.

The future of Zenless Zone Zero looks brighter (and more electrically charged) than ever. Who are you pulling for? Are you team Silver Soldier, team Toasty Kitty, or team Vengeance Sniper? Let me know! 💬✨

P.S. Start saving those Polychromes and Master Tapes... you're gonna need them.
